so today's video is a little different it's sponsored by IBM which is a first for us that's pretty cool and I have no idea what's going on so it's meant to be very experiential and Alex here is going to be showing me exactly what is inside these black boxes and why they are so very cool okay so what do we do first then just open one okay so okay you bad unboxing for now just like hey camera here's the thing you were already looking at very very much already and you know it's just gonna kind of hang there oh oh this is great if only you could see if only you could see what was in this box yeah this how it's amazing okay it's inside you will find an IBM developer sticker coaster really it is not you've got this cute little Telo drone it seems to be like pretty capable and like even if you don't win one you can get them for like a hundred bucks or something like that oh speaking of winning right that was one of the big things for this whole video is they're actually giving away 1500 of these kits so you can check out the details below will tell you a little bit more about it later but for now let's just have the experience here so here's our battery for our Trello drone the since it's more bad it's more battery now than drone twisted and well not evil but pretty cool anyway you've got a special code to unlock access to IBM's code pattern to help you program your drone you get a medium sized to IBM developer shirt alright this one's a large oh that's a fire and you control it with your phone I guess yep iOS and Android yep cool nice wallpaper thank you thank you Kelvin hops wallpaper okay so we're just joining the Wi-Fi hotspot from this drone yeah you just connect to Wi-Fi then you get in a little app so takeoff so let's take off yep is it black and white oh no it's coming at me oh yeah would you like me to fly it do you know how to fly a drone you can't screw up flying a drone you can and people do yes I'm just trying to figure out how to oh yes that's what I was trying to get okay this is really good at doing flips do you want to have a little girl sure like it's pretty standard drone functionality but that's really stable for a tiny drone I guess I should expect no less from DJI but okay no it's bad alright okay so we can land it for now though right yeah how does IBM figure into all of this so that's the really cool part about this little drone is that it's super easy to program so what are we going to program our telephone to do we're gonna give it a little routine kind of like go up move one way the other way maybe do like a little square and then a couple flips oh cool let's start Oh Fred it's pretty simple but it looks pretty hackery you do need to know how to use command a little bit okay and are we connected to the drones hot spot right now are we on the Internet we're just on the internet right now okay but where did you go mr. drone there we go hello so a flow one Tello missions yay so this is just a really like visual drag and drop programming interface but then can you can you go straight full hacker writing things out if you want oh yeah like every one of these is like an actual bit of code and you can do kind of whatever you want in it cool so let's just see if it's working so we'll just like hit take off wow that is too don't hit the light please so if we could we just can we bring it to psych down a bit can you override with your phone or like how does this work are we reading computer is that okay that's all we go down how much 60 60 centimeters probably I hope so if we go to the right let's just get it a little bit away from us yeah so that was right 30 want to go right 30 again 10 out of 10 10 out of 10 best way to fly a drone 2018 okay I wonder what full 360 does okay okay that's pretty self-explanatory it's a good thing that this has a nice stable flight okay yeah man okay okay cool so now we program it to do something yeah let's just run this little code and see what happens so it goes down does a 360 and then lands splendid yeah that did work then we could have it we could have it fly around the room probably right I'm gonna go get a tape measure 50 actually here why don't we do you want to take off from the floor instead just make our lives and maybe a little bit easier command zero 1000 so that must be for the takeoff then we'll have it go up maybe another 50 centimeters so that's about head level so instead of down we want to go 500 then let's go clockwise 90 was 19 so we're kind of mapping out where we're expecting it to go and then we'll see what happens let's fly in a straight line 220 centimeters can we do that 201 to you okay okay and see if it lands on the table we're asking for a lot here we understand that yeah it does this doesn't have a bottom facing camera does it it does have IR so something like that not a camera yeah yeah okay well let's see what happens see and then all that we have to do to connect them is just take the custom path and we add this little connection here okay successfully injected run mission whoa what did we set it to I thought we set it to 50 centimeters 500 no this is in millimeters are you sure yep I wouldn't get too close David there goes the content it's gonna go up ah no I am pretty sure it's centimeters why would you have a granularity of millimeters for something that flies like it doesn't make any sense I don't know millimeters are just nice which stop it all to like 200 yeah okay oh it's gonna hit things okay up 50 then we want to go counter clockwise 90 turn come on turn turn baby how do you get it to stop okay so why didn't get the clockwise you need a counterclockwise so yes let's just make sure that that's wait did you write cww oh it should be see see all of them yup I did that for every single one so that explains why that didn't work this is pretty cool yeah here comes the flip way yep no is it gonna hit anything oh it's really close to that chain that chain it did you bring it back down Alex okay it's supposed to land oh why is it flipping again oh that's the flip okay so it's gonna go forward land now so there you have it the only limitation is your imagination and your competence so that's like pretty cool and all but yeah you know kind of just for like playing around with programming and stuff yeah but the actual like powerful part of this is the vision recognition stuff so basically you can send imagery to Watson yeah it can like take a little look at it and then tell you what it is yeah Wow so like it's pretty cool for like us and like the IBM guys had it like go around and like find their dog or another dog related thing he has a bunch of tennis balls that he always loses in the yard so the drone just maps out where all the tennis balls are that he threw for his dog more like there's useful things like you never go up and inspect a cell tower or like wow look at like powerlines and make sure they're not all clogged up with icing right so now this is obviously not the unit that you would necessarily use for all of those types of applications but what it is is it's a great affordable learning platform what I was trying to do was to get it to find either you or Colton and attack you but unfortunately I wasn't quite able to get it to work so we had a train on a negative which is pictures of like me James Pella the people in the office that I liked you know so we have like our find and destroy Colton thing uh-huh we did this with 17 pictures of Colton 15 of you I just grabbed them off the internet and if we test this if we like take a picture of you and I was email it to myself drone stuff picture of Linus coffee it in loading results oh only 59% Linus so it does recognize that it's you but it's not as good as the Colton stuff that I was doing like if we take a picture of Colton and here's just a random one it wasn't in the training yeah 90% and only 1% - yeah and like I was able to do this in like 15 minutes so we weren't able to get full attack drone capability and obviously for stuff like the tennis ball or like inspecting cell tower examples we gave before something like this is probably not quite heavy-duty enough but really the purpose of the Telo drone and these developer kits is to get your feet wet and have something that is surprisingly capable for the price with that said you won't necessarily have to buy one because as I alluded to before iBM is giving away a whopping 1500 of these at the link in the video description so a huge thank you to IBM for obviously supporting the developer community and sponsoring this video and a huge thank you to you guys for watching if you just like the video you can hit that button but if you liked it hit like get subscribed or maybe consider checking out where to buy the stuff we featured at the link below also done there's our merch store which has cool shirts like this one and our community forum which you guys should totally join
